Description

Developed by Lonny Gadberry in the late 1930's for the then Chelan National Forest, this crow's nest tree tower halfway up the south slope of Juniper Point was abandoned in the early 1940's. It remained standing with the help of some recycled telephone wire until it finally collapsed about 2007. Remains of the tent floor, flagpole, woodpile and food cooler remain at the site, which is located within the Loomis State Forest.
